Almighty painter

Chapter 28 Mr. Cao's Lecture
Shocking!

Hearing the evaluation of "young genius", everyone in the crowd felt envy, jealousy, and more admiration.

It's not that I admire Gu Weijing, but I admire Cao Lao and Cao Lao's mind.

Artists are all proud and arrogant, but it doesn't mean that you can be recognized if you draw well.

In particular, he is so modest to ask for advice from children who are not as old as his grandson.

"Old Cao! No need, pass."

Assistant Lao Yang couldn't help reminding Gu Weijing in a low voice, reminding Gu Weijing that he didn't deserve such a comment.

This is not a personal grudge.

The position of the painter is the position of the assistant. Mr. Cao values ​​Gu Weijing so much, so Lao Yang must also value Gu Weijing.

At this time, Lao Yang was actually full of complaints against himself.

He complained that his tone of scolding the other party was too harsh just now, and he was worried that he would offend this little Bodhisattva who came out of nowhere.

"You are so talented, you are a young genius, and adults have a lot, so don't worry about running errands like me?"

If according to Lao Yang's true thoughts, he can't wait to rush over to hold Gu Weijing's hand and be a good uncle who makes people feel like a spring breeze.

However, his work ethic must allow him to stop his employer when he says something inappropriate in public.

"Better than my old bones." - this sentence is very inappropriate in Lao Yang's view.

Although Mr. Cao doesn't write much anymore, his works are still increasing in value in the art market. The auction prices are rising steadily, but few collectors sell their works.

The main reason is that with the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the rising status of Asia in the world, the world's recognition of oriental art has strengthened, and Chinese paintings have become more and more valuable.

There is also the reason why Mr. Cao is the No.1 living oriental painter.

Collectors are waiting.

Now Mr. Cao is over 90 years old. As long as the old man dies and his almost unstained life as a painter is concluded, his works can enter the painting hall, one of the six major halls of the Louvre. .

Only a few people in history have had the great honor and good fortune to witness their works being collected by the Louvre as living painters.

Picasso, Martial, Soulages...these people were once hailed as the greatest living painters, and they were the leaders in the painting circle of an era.

With Mr. Cao's status, if he finds a suitable economic team to operate, it may not be impossible for the collection to be collected by the Louvre while he is alive.

It was the old man himself who refused. He is a modest person who thinks that he still cannot stand side by side with these names that are shining brightly in the entire art history of the world.

For many painters, being able to enter the Louvre after death is as honorable as a Frenchman being able to enter the Pantheon after his death.

It is almost possible to draw such a conclusion.

Collectors also have the mentality of adoring the past and belittling the present. When Mr. Cao passes away, the prices of his works will rise dramatically.

It is certain that the entire work market will stand firm at US$1000 million, and US$3000-[-] million is not a dream. Some masterpieces may even test the new peak of East Asian contemporary painters in the order of US$[-] million.

Those who are willing to spend [-] million US dollars to collect art are all masters who are not short of money, either they are old-school OLD MONEY, or they are upstarts who want to show their artistic taste.

They only like the best work.

If your work is not good enough, what kind of painting can't be bought with this money.

Among the many works of Claude Monet, the most expensive painting among the 25 paintings in the "Haystack" series was only sold at Sotheby's for 1 million US dollars.

As for the water lily series printed in middle school art textbooks, you can choose whatever you want with [-] million US dollars in your hand. Some people in the market can buy whichever one they like.

"Stronger than my old bones."

This sentence is easy to be exploited.

"Shocked! The level of the master of Chinese painting is not as good as that of a child.", "Master Jiuxun admits that he is inferior to others!", "The artist Mr. Cao Xuan made a major mistake in his painting in name but without reality."

Many art tabloids are a group of scavenging vultures. They may be more reserved, cursing people without spit out their bones as cultural people, but in essence, some non-professional writers are no different from the UC shock department.

That is to say, Gu Weijing is too young and not yet a professional painter in the art market. Anyone who knows it knows that this is the old man's encouragement to the young people.

Otherwise, just this sentence may cause price fluctuations in the market for Mr. Cao's works.

Even, if Gu Weijing loses his temper in the future and becomes an ordinary person who may not be good when he is young, and then encounters this kid with a problem with his character——he may take these words and use them on the legacy of the old man. Use it as your own access ladder.

It's not something that hasn't happened.

How many masters have been ruined by their disciples and grandchildren who have failed. The masters are unfortunate, and they will not live in peace after death.

What's happening here?
Lao Yang looked at Gu Weijing on the other side, his eyes turned red with jealousy.

Does this kid know how lucky he is?

How many famous painters do you know who would be so overwhelmed by such a comment that they would lose sleep at night?
He is not the great-grandson left by the old man in Burma.

……

Although Gu Weijing still didn't understand the weight of this sentence, he was still surprised by the old man's praise for him.

To put it bluntly, no matter what the reason was, he was also at fault.

The objective fact is that,

He really moved Mr. Cao's mural and painted on it without permission.

If you discard the warm scene where seniors and juniors complete each other, even if your painting is better than the original person, what is the nature of this matter?

In the cross talk world, this is called choking.

In the world of martial arts, this is called Kicking Hall.

In the field of philosophy, this is called scolding the boss.

Gu Weijing, who had come to his senses completely, was even a little scared.

He knew that as long as Mr. Cao was a little narrower, this matter would go in a completely different direction.

"Want to be famous? Why, you are talented. Lin Tao wants to accept you as his apprentice, but you are not satisfied. You are not greedy enough. You can't wait to step on me and become famous?"

Mr. Cao's question just now was actually expressing what was in his heart for many people present.

Who said that if you are talented, others will appreciate you?

At least this incident will make Mr. Cao's disciples say nothing, and they must feel uncomfortable.

In the art circle, whether it is poetry, singing, painting, writing, philosophy...

"Being a big boss and scolding your seniors" has always been the only way to become famous, and at the same time it is also the most taboo way to kill in the circle.

But this is the same as the Jinmen martial arts in the old society. Facing peers and learning from each other can be enjoyable and make friends through martial arts.

If it was someone who came to the door to kick the restaurant to grab a job, it was always an enemy who met and beat him to death.

Precisely because this kind of thing is taboo.

Unless you have nowhere to go, with the mentality of fighting to the death with those old artists, and only one of us is left, no matter how talented you are, it's best not to do it.

Gu Weijing, who finally understood the taste, was really moved at this moment, he understood Mr. Cao's protection of him.

Countless artists pretend to be highly respected seniors, but how many people can really do this one?
He bowed to Cao Lao.

"I'm sorry, thank you."

Gu Weijing sincerely thanks.

"Why, there is nothing to be thankful for. Did you feel in your heart that what I said at the beginning - the old guy should bend down in the soil and let the young people climb up on their bodies. It is the hypocrisy of the old bones. In your heart It was only at this time that I was so shocked when I saw talented young people wishing to strangle them to death." The little old man seemed a little unhappy at the moment, and he joked with his eyes wide open.

"But, after all, you did something wrong."

"Yes."

“There is punishment for doing something wrong. Do you agree?”

"agree."

Cao Lao thought for a while: "In order to teach you a lesson, you will come to color and study ink while I am painting in the next few days. Let's make a start."

Gu Weijing opened his mouth wide.

hum~
There was another uproar in the crowd.

Tanaka was so kind that he almost cried.

This is punishment?You call this punishment, how many fucking punishments like this can you find in the world with lanterns on?

This is simply Chuanyi!

unfair!
There is a shady scene!
I protest!
He closed his mouth tightly, gritted his teeth and swallowed in his heart.

"Teacher, you are too eccentric. Even when I was learning painting, you often let my senior teach me."

Lin Tao was smiling wryly. Most of the senior brothers were taught by senior senior brothers.At that time, Mr. Cao was very busy, and he didn't even get a few chances to teach one-on-one in person.

Gu Weijing is really lucky.
